A permanent spacing beam for the rapid deployment of roofing trusses on site. Such permanent spacing beams and truss ties as described may utilize a mount end, a retention end, and an elongate portion which spans the distance between the mount end and the retention end. The mount end may have a mount slot and the retention end may have a retention slot. The mount slot and the retention slot may be configured to permanently couple and mount to a first truss timber stud and an adjacent truss timber stud used in residential and commercial roof construction. Such a configuration results in a permanent truss tie being spanned between two roofing trusses thereby creating a more robust and sturdy roof construction.
